(Liza, Liz and Hannah Church from Gettysburg at All-American Banquet)
Congrats to Liza Beckler and Liz Bruno for earning National Player of the Year recognition in their respective positions by the IWLCA. Liza was named Defender of the year and Liz was named Midfielder of the year! Way to go!
Beckler, a senior, was selected as an All-American for the second
season in a row after leading the Bantams to their first national
title. In five NCAA Tournament games this spring, Trinity's defense
held its opponents to 22 goals and 37 shots on goal, largely due to
Beckler active presence in the middle of the Bantam zone defense.
Totaling 36 ground balls and 26 caused turnovers this spring,
Beckler helped Trinity go undefeated in the postseason.
Bruno, a unanimous selection as NESCAC Player of the Year, became a four-time All-American in 2012. The NCAA Final Four's Most Outstanding Performer, Bruno led the Bantams in assists (30), ground balls (61), and caused turnovers (55) to go with 27 goals and 51 draw controls this spring. Her combination of size, speed, stick skills, and leadership abilities gave Trinity both a lethal offensive and defensive weapon.
